So I w not to my 12 week appointment and my uterus is still tilted. I’m worried that it won’t move into place like it’s supposed to. I know that is very rare but it still really worries me. Does anyone else have a tilted uterus?

I really do not think it is that rare- a quick search say 25% of women. Mine was tilted the entire time with my oldest son. They had a harder time judging how dilated I was when I was in labour. It also really felt like he was coming out of the other hole- if you know what I mean. But no complications because of it.

They say you may have more back pain, trouble emptying your bladder, and harder time locating baby in ultrasound (just do a vaginal and no problem). I did not notice back pain. I definitely had a hard time peeing. It is weird but I used to have to lift up my stomach to be able to pee later on in pregnancy. Honestly, all pretty common pregnancy symptoms.

It's so weird... they never said anything about me having a tilted uterus with my first, but at my 7 week and 12 week ultrasounds, 2 different techs said it is tilted! They didn't say it was a concern, she just said as the baby gets bigger it will probably move into place.

I found out at 9 weeks that mine is tilted too! I know you mean it’s very rare for it to NOT go into place after 12 weeks.

I have my 12 weeks ultrasound next week and I’m so worried to hear it hasn’t moved back yet. Because I did the thing you’re not supposed to do... and I googled it! And I know it said if it’s doesn’t move back into place that you have higher risk of late miscarriage. However, I know 4 girls who all also had it and all carried to full term!

Also, it made me feel better to know that the cramping I had since like 4 weeks was all due to my uterus shape ... I like to think that the cramping is my uterus shape going back to normal! Lol

Thanks! I know I should have never googled it either lol! Sometimes I wish there was no google. Glad you also understood that I meant it’s rare for it to not move into place. I am surprised they never told me anything about having a tilted uterus with my first. He was just fine I just have to stay positive. It’s helpful hearing that other women out here are going through he same thing as me. Prayers for a problem free pregnancy for you!

Hey don’t worry!!! I have a titled or retroverted uterus as well! I’m an Ultrasound tech so I was waiting patiently for it to move in the anteverted position which is what most women have. I checked at 12 and 13 weeks and it was still a little tilted. But guess what! I’m 14w4days and I checked this morning and what do you know! That uterus is now anteverted! Just be patient. ;)

My mom has a tilted uterus and had 4 healthy kids, my sister also and she had two and I have a tilted uterus and I have one with another on the way. Didn’t notice anything different except I had bad back labor with my daughter.

I do, it was brought up during my first pregnancy and never again after that. I was never told it could cause any complications, just that I would likely experience a lot of back labor and boy, did I ever, haha.

A tilted uterus poses no risk to the baby. I'm sorry that your doctor has not calmed your worries; they should have. We have enough going on to be spending energy on things that aren't truly a concern! LOL You'll be okay.

It’s partly my fault. I wasn’t really worried at the dr’s office. It was that night I went home and started googling it. I have got to quit doing that lol. But I’m thankful to everyone’s responses they really have helped out a bunch!
